The Wreaths Across America Ceremony was a touching event that took place at the Auburn Cemetery in December. There was a huge turnout of people that came early on a freezing winter weekend to lay wreaths on veterans graves and participate in the ceremony. The weather was cold, but some generous people brought hot chocolate to warm us up. The beginning ceremony had a few speeches and then currently serving sergeants and military officers accompanied veterans to lay wreaths for veterans that were prisoners of war or who have not been found.
There were many 4-H youth from Gold County 4-H and other Placer County 4-H clubs and projects. Each person grabbed a wreath or two and headed out looking for veterans graves to lay their wreath...
On April 30th at Magnolia Intermediate School in Grass Valley, 4-H members from Placer and Nevada counties came together to participate in the annual Bi-County 4-H Fashion Revue. Youth had the opportunity to model and present garments that they had sewn or purchased. In conjunction with the judging event, youth members were able to participate in a fashion show to highlight their specific outfits. The purpose of 4-H Fashion Revue is to inspire appreciation of clothing, textiles, consumer science, personal development, and to promote self-esteem through individual expression. Additionally, 4-H Fashion Revue provides opportunities to extend youth leadership and communication skills.
